Re: [Hawkular-dev] versioning schema

Hello, Sorry for the late reply but .Final-SNAPSHOT is not good for many reasons. First, the page below [1] has an implicit version for -SNAPSHOT by the virtue of "major.minor.micro.TIMESTAMP-Mn". .Final or any other moniker added (eg. .Beta) after the actual version and before -SNAPSHOT, will break the versioning for the timed snapshots. Second, it really makes the -SNAPSHOT moniker obsolete, because we will never have .Beta-SNAPSHOT (or if we do we will confuse absolutely everybody). So we might as well not use .SNAPSHOT at all and switch to use exclusively the labels in the document. And third, it just makes the version unnecessarily long since it does not provide any more context to potential users. I totally agree with mandating the released version numbers to be in accordance with the JBoss standards. But let's keep the -SNAPSHOT version as short as possible (x.y.z-SNAPSHOT).
